Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes wants the Trump Department of Justice to continue a federal lawsuit against RealPage Inc. and major corporate landlords.
The lawsuit began in 2024 under the Biden administration and accused the defendants of using an “algorithmic pricing scheme that harms millions of American renters.”
“We allege that RealPage’s pricing algorithm enables landlords to share confidential, competitively sensitive information and align their rents,” said then-U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland. “Using software as the sharing mechanism does not immunize this scheme from Sherman Act liability, and the Justice Department will continue to aggressively enforce the antitrust laws and protect the American people from those who violate them.”
In a March 11, 2025 letter to U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi, Mayes urges Bondi to continue the federal lawsuit. In a related press release, the Democratic attorney general said that millions of renters – including many in Arizona – have been harmed by what Mayes described as unlawful conduct.
